He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasnt dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean. “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean? “The sun is up and the tide is going out, and if I dont throw them in theyll die.“But, young man, dont you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You cant possibly make a difference!The young man listened politely, then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future.We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.59. One day, the wise man saw the young man .A. dancing along the beach B. walking with a dancerC. picking up starfish for sale D. trying to save as many starfish as possible60. Near the end of the passage, “something very special refers to .A. the gifts from friends B. the strength of making decisionC. our own starfish D. the ability of shaping ones own future61. From the last two paragraphs, we can learn that .A. the wise man realized something new and importantB. the wise man thought it was foolish of the young man to throw starfish into the oceanC. the young man had the ability to make a differenceD. it is necessary for us to save starfish on the beach62. The writer told this story in order to show us .A. how and where we can write a good article B. everyone can do something for the futureC. wise men are sometimes stupid D. young people are actually wiser than old people CWhy should I teach my children history? That sounds like a stupid question to even ask. But, as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching history. Let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history. The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past. I am convinced that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures. However, as the unfortunately true statement goes "the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we don't seem to learn from history." Perhaps at least in teaching history to my children I can do a small part in changing this. A second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context. We cannot even understand why we are and where we are without history, much less (更不必说) try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be. I teach my children history, for one more reason. I purchased a set of historical audio (录音机) tapes for our children. My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over. It was my hope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish things by himself. I think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr. if, in doing so, young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he accomplished. I also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for.63. What message can we get from the underlin
